I'm going to respond to one Q & A entitled " Slaughter of the Canaanites." As I read it, nearly everything Craig writes makes me want to hurl at my computer screen because of the moral depravity that being forced to defend the barbaric Iron-age literature makes him sink to. Since William Lane Craig is the loudest Christian apologist, at least in the English speaking world, I shall critique his justification of the Canaanite conquests that he did through his website Reasonable Faith. I've covered the Canaanite slaughter numerous times here and debated it on other blogs. It got me thinking about the Canaanite genocide in the Old Testament again with some new insights that I hadn't known before. Stark's critique, Is God A Moral Compromiser?, is full of really great counter arguments and I think it's a must read for any atheist or critic of the current apologetic espoused by the likes of Copan and Craig and their minions.
Copan writes the standard apologetic that you will hear many Christians making who defend the Iron-age morality of the Old Testament, like slavery, polygamy and genocide. I'm really enjoying Thom Stark's critique of Paul Copan's book, Is God A Moral Monster?.
